TV Mounting in East Austin
East of I-35 the housing changes block by block. A 1930s bungalow off East Cesar Chavez can have shiplap boards or plaster behind the paint, while the apartment buildings that went up along East 6th, East 7th, and around Plaza Saltillo are standard drywall over wood or light-gauge steel studs. The anchor that holds a 65-inch TV in one would be wrong in the other, so we ask about the building age when you book and bring both kits.
Flat pricing from $69 by TV size, the same list as the rest of Austin. Enter your ZIP to see the price and book a same-day or next-day slot.

Before we arrive
What to expect in East Austin
A large share of East Austin is rented, from ADUs behind older houses to new-build units with a leasing office. For renters we default to the smallest footprint that is still safe: stud-mounted where studs are reachable, low-damage options where they are not, and a matched patch kit if we do drill so move-out is not a deposit argument.
Most East Austin jobs are finished in under an hour once we are at the wall. The variable is the building itself, which is why the wall and access notes below matter more here than the mounting step.
Parking & access
Street parking is the norm for the bungalow blocks; the newer apartment buildings usually need a leasing-office check-in and sometimes a freight elevator reservation. Tell us which one you are in when you book and we will add the time.

Walls we see most in East Austin
Shiplap or plaster in older bungalows
Boards under the drywall change where a screw actually bites. We locate the framing behind the boards instead of trusting a stud finder alone.
Drywall over wood studs in new apartments
The easy case: standard lag bolts into studs, or low-damage hardware if the lease asks for it.
Light-gauge steel studs in mixed-use buildings
Common in corridors and some units in the newer buildings near Plaza Saltillo. Needs toggle-style anchors, not wood screws.
Exposed brick on converted warehouses
Proper masonry anchors into the brick body, never the mortar joints. Flat $25 masonry add-on.

FAQ
East Austin questions
My East Austin house has shiplap behind the drywall. Can you still mount on it?
Yes. Shiplap changes where the fasteners land, not whether the TV can go up. We find the true framing behind the boards and anchor into that, so the mount is carrying on studs rather than on the boards alone.
Do you work in the newer apartment buildings along East 6th and East 7th?
Yes, those buildings are a regular part of the East Austin schedule. Most have a leasing-office sign-in and some require a freight elevator booking; mention the building when you schedule and we plan the visit around it.
I am renting a converted garage apartment or ADU. Does that change anything?
Only the anchor choice. ADUs behind older houses are often built with mixed materials, so we confirm what the wall is before drilling and use the lease-friendly option where the TV weight allows it.
